How do you hold your mouse?

2 fingers on top

3 fingers on top

Okay so i recently got a Razer Naga Chroma, love it but i noticed an ergonomic problem for me. I've always used 3 finger on top, pointer on M1, middle on scroll wheel, Ring on M2. The current razer naga was not designed around this grip, as you can easily tell from the ring finger rest/grove. Luckily its noticeably higher body compared to other mice has made the grove feel similar to my previous mice, albeit a little higher in the air. I feel like this problem was addressed back when the naga had 3 sides, back in like 2012. I would personally love a slimmer Naga, as the current ergonomics force my hand to feel like its either a centimeter higher since i cant fully rest my pinky down, or to stretch the pinky out further sideways.

As for now i think im going to get used to feeling like my hand is unnaturally high on my mouse.

and i don't know i always prefer having a finger on every button possible, for speed and simultaneous actions i guess. It is also just naturally more comfortable.

I guess it depends on what games you play, but when do you actually have to use M1 or M2 with the wheel simultaneously?

I have to agree with Overtask on this one. 2 on top feels more natural. 3 seems like you're trying too hard? Idk, I guess it depends from person to person. I just tried using 3 and I feel like I have less control over the mouse, but I can probably overcome that caveat with training. With that said, I do use 3 fingers total because I usually remap the thumb button to some in-game action, like melee.

Regardless, at the end of the day I'm pretty sure the mouse was designed to be used with 2 fingers on top. Imo, doing otherwise seems like you're fighting against the design, instead of working with it.

This reminds me of the thread about how to properly use WASD .
If you're comfortable, stick with it.

Well i guess never strictly simultaneously but more so in fractions of a second in a shooter, for example use mouse for switch gun and scope in right away. I don't personally but i know some bind scroll wheel to jump for bunnyhopping.

I know it fights against the Naga's ergonomics specifically, but it's more comfortable and its faster for me.

it seems so odd to me...but yet it does make sense haha if you have the scroll mapped to something you really use frequently. as long as you get enough grip on the side with your pinky for quick movements

My main shooter for a while was csgo, and tf2 before that, so quick weapon switching and alternative fire were important to me.

I also am still waiting on my new keyboard so up until that finally arrives, i've only had very low key rollover. And although using numbers to switch weapons reliably would be better, i physically don't have a keyboard that could do that without keypresses not registering.

And now as i've been playing overwatch i like assigning scroll wheel down as alternative modes of fire for certain abilities.

Okay, so you use 3 fingers on top of your mouse and you think that might be weird? I use 1 finger... I always only have my index finger on top, the middle finger on the far edge, mostly on the side and all others on the side.
Sometimes I end up having 2 fingers, if I'm zoned out or something, but when I'm really concentrating on something that takes serious mouse precision, like photo/video editing, I usually end up with 1 finger to avoid accidental right clicks.
